TENOR SAXOPHONE((:

The tenor saxophone is a medium-sized member of the saxophone family, a group of instruments invented by Adolphne Sax.



The tenor saxophone is used in many different types of ensembles, including concert bands, big band jazz ensembles, small jazz ensembles & marching bands.It is also occasionally called for in pieces writen for symphony orchestra .Unlike the alto saxohone, it plays mostly a supporting role in concert bands, sometimes sharing parts with the euophonium & trombone.It is in jazz ensembles that the tenor saxophone plays a more prominent role.




The tenor saxophone requires a slightly larger mouthpiece, reed & ligature than the alto. [WTH?]



Each family consisted of:
Sopranino(huh?) , Soprano , Alto , Tenor , Baritone , Bass , Contrabrass .
